The Francis Marion Hotel

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This 100 + year old hotel is exceptional. The staff was soooo amazing. The hotel is in incredible condition for the age. Our room was a beautiful corner room with a very comfortable bed and sitting area. The bathroom is small but so authentic and is what you expect from a hotel with this history. Our room was super clean as well as the entire building. We explored and loved it throughout. Way beyond our expectations and we loved where it sits on King Street in Charleston. We can’t wait for our next visit to the city because we’ll be staying at Francis Marion again. Thank you for our stay!"

"Staff was friendly and welcoming. Break was hot & fresh. The coffee makers made good coffee, but it was a challenge to get a cup of coffee. It took a while. It would be better to have the volume of coffee ready in the am when people had places to go."

"Some lint came out of the overhead vent onto our bedspread right after we checked in. After letting them know they immediately sent housekeeping to change all the linens. This is the second time we have stayed at the Vendue. Very convenient to lots of places within walking distance, including the Market. Will come again."
